Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. The people rebelled and made the calf, but God did not abandon them. The cloud and fire, manna, and water recall persistent provision amid unfaithfulness. The prayer deliberately contrasts divine constancy with human inconsistency.

Und du gabst ihnen einen guten Geist, sie zu unterweisen; und dein Man wandtest du nicht von ihrem Munde, und gabst ihnen Wasser, da sie dürstete.
Y diste tu espíritu bueno para enseñarlos, y no retiraste tu maná de su boca, y agua les diste en su sed.
Tu leur donnas ton bon esprit pour les rendre sages, tu ne refusas point ta manne à leur bouche, et tu leur fournis de l'eau pour leur soif.
E desti loro il tuo buono Spirito, per dar loro intelletto; e non ritraesti la tua manna dalla lor bocca, e desti loro dell’acqua per la lor sete.
E deste o teu bom espírito, para os ensinar; e o teu maná não retiraste da sua boca; e água lhes deste na sua sede.
你賜下你良善的靈教導他們,沒有收回嗎哪不給他們吃,仍賜水給他們解渴。
